"one engine bay looks much like another."

Some are more full than others ;)

Very true.
There won't be any space left after this.
Battery has to be moved for the charge cooler to even fit.
And the supercharger is almost invisible hidden behind the bulk of the engine.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

It's gonna be a beast when done, hopefully many progress pictures to come.

Hopefully a teathered beast not a wild one.

Pat usually sends me a few pics but one engine bay looks much like another.

Reminds me of an old Smiths tune

"As Anthony said to Cleopatra
As he opened a crate of ale,

Oh, I say :
Some girls are bigger than others"

Smith's are good just a shame about him.

I would like to see in the region of 280 bhp with torque around 270 ft-lb but with a TTE exhaust flow may be limited so we shall see.
Injectors won't support much over 280 either.

On to insurance AF have just sent me a renewal for the car AS IS £860 which I find to be abusive.

They did the same to me this year, pretty much doubled. I went with green light in the end for less than half of what flu quoted with an agreed value.
2zz by Rogue. Se7en cams. BMC CDA. Competion clutches lightened flywheel, Megillian Racing Exhaust. TRD sportivo suspension and ARB\'s. TRD braces. TRD quick shift. TRD dash kit, Matts brace. Getting there but not sure when it will stop!

I won't be renewing with A Flux next time, after they royally screwed me on agreed value.
I agree with mikek, Greenlight were very good last time I used them, give them a go.

Sky just quoted me 735 with 280bhp.
Will give greenlight a call and will see if AF want to try to give me a competitive quote but I am thinking I will go elsewhere out of principal.

Fingers crossed for greenlight.

Its important to give business to those who quote low or they will stop doing it.

I've tried AF a few times and they wouldn't even insure my V6.  Their sister company Flux Direct just offered me £405 all mods declared which was £140 less than Sky.  That includes them knowing i crashed and wrote off my last MR2 and with three penalty points.  Could be worth a shot!

Scott that renewal is terrible!!
Not sure why AF are being so uncompetitive with quotes these days.

Keep shopping around and play them all off against each other to get the cheapest price.

AF have now come down to 700 with all the new mods.

Their customer service people don't like it when tell them you aren't happy.

Tried to say quote was competitive compared to Sky because it was on installments and included breakdown but it didn't include the supercharger or any of my new mods.
Also with the new quote they haven't asked for a power output.
All the other companies have.
Strange.

Just be careful with them, those are the questions they'll ask once they've took your 💰 and it then costs an arm and leg to get out of the contract

Bad news.
Looks like bee6 is only running on 5 cylinders so Pat has ordered a new coil pack and hopefully that will clear up the problem. Compression was good btw.

Good news.
Talked to Greenlight insurance today.
Really nice people to deal with friendly honest and knowledgeable.
Got Bee6 insured for £530 200 better than Flux or Sky quote.
7500 miles annually
8k value
Up to 300bhp.

Would recommend you give them a call come renewal.

Not sure I will be on it coil pack plus labour plus anymore unforseen issues could stop play.
